Using Bluetooth with iPod Touch

I figured it out...Windows Vista tends to put all sorts of security checks and you have to say "no" when it asks whether you whether you only want to see things delivered through the secure website. If you answer "yes" (the default), it won't get you to where you need to go.

Anyway, I was able to download the software and connect my iPod Touch. It's brilliant!!

Thanks for the help.

 

Glad it all worked out!

 

WE can only hope that Apple will address this poor implementation of the BT stack in their next release. We just go this update in June that allowed A2DP BT. For me, its really not better than nothing as it hoses my Podcasts that I listen to in that they always get reset to 0 and starts over. I found some discussions over at Apple that do confirm this. So I sit patiently wanting to use BT for music but until then I just use the AUX. Its not fun but it is all have that is reliable.

I felt a bit reluctant to buy the software upgrade just to unlock the bluetooth feature on my iTouch (2G), but at $4.95, it was definitely cheaper than buying a cable to hook it up to the AUX port. As soon as I sat inside, the car automatically picked up the iTouch and music began playing about 5 seconds later. You can't access much on the navigation screen (besides just Play and Pause), and there is a delay between the iTouch and the car system, but overall it works fine and sound is very clear.
